🔹Don't Target Civilian InfrastructurePlease believe that we, ordinary people, have no role in your political or military disputes. Yet we have already paid a heavy price. If this war extends to the destruction of vital infrastructure—as the signs suggest—the greatest suffering, deprivation, and hardship will fall upon ordinary civilians.Do you not present yourselves as defenders of humanity and human rights? Have you not established international institutions and legal frameworks to protect those very values? Then how can the targeting of electricity facilities, drinking water systems, and other civilian infrastructure be justified? Who suffers from the loss of water and electricity except ordinary people, children, the elderly, and the sick? How many lives would be placed at risk by such actions?International humanitarian law is founded on the principle of distinguishing between military objectives and civilian objects. It requires all parties to a conflict, to the greatest extent possible, to spare civilians and the infrastructure essential to their survival. Electricity, drinking water, and other vital services are the lifelines of society. Destroying them harms not armies, but innocent people.If you choose to commit such an act, you will not only undermine your own claims of humanitarian values, but also weaken one of humanity's most fundamental principles: the sanctity of human life. Such actions would set a dangerous precedent, encouraging others to disregard the most basic rights of civilians and to treat essential infrastructure as legitimate targets.I therefore make this heartfelt appeal: not for the sake of any government, but out of respect for human life and human dignity—please do not target the lifelines of our lives.Thank you for your attention.Professor S.H.
